Is housing on the verge of a hard crash?

Can the housing market finally revert back to its normal self post Covid or the current situation of tight supply and enormous price hikes a new norm? Time will tell. All I can say is this market is unsustainable unless we keep seeing high inflation numbers.

Real Estate market and specifically residential market is still strong in Northern California. It is still some what a sellers market, but there are now disturbing signs emerging in some counties such as Solano. There are more households with 2 or more payments behind on their mortgages and some short sale and foreclosures are being listed in some cities. If you are a flipper, you need to use more caution than 2 or even a year ago. Come November and election time, regardless of who wins, we will have some shakeup or worse. Caution is the word for the day. Call or message me if you need more details or if you like to sell/buy a residential unit.

As of a year ago, I saw signs and warned that housing in California and specially Northern California is poised to have a correction. The prices went too high and we lacked inventory.

The sad news for sellers is that the down turn has started. Inventory is up, as much as 3 times in Southern California, and prices are starting to decrease. That is good news for buyers. How deep and long this cycle would be is any body's guess. My recommendation id to refrain from purchasing any property for further clarification unless you need a house that you will hold onto for at least 5 years or longer.

I really do NOT want to tell you I told you so, but have you checked the price of bitcoin on Bitcoin's closing price on Friday? Does 6700 look right? Where is this garbage going from here, who knows. But always remember, what goes up, must eventually come down. So, will the price of houses specially in Bay Area. The prices are ridiculous and NOT affordable even by the very techies who caused this market. Welcome to reality.

Will housing markets follow the stock markets and start loosening up or even crashing? Since we do NOT have the mortgage problems of last crash, is a crash in housing not possible? Many people have bought at high prices with high volume loans which makes then susceptible to foreclosure with a sudden loss of jobs. Would that be the factor that would crash the housing market? I do NOT think we have to wait long to find out.

WE are closing the year out with a substantially reduced home sales through out the country. One reason is the high home prices and lack of inventory of course. There was a study done recently indicating that average number of years of house lived in has increased to 10 years from 5. That is an astonishing increase and the reason stated is lack of inventory. People feel if they list their homes for sale, they may not find a suitable replacement to buy and hence reluctance to do so. Will the new year bring about a change, or will we finally start to see a change in this over heated and priced market? We just have to wait and see. I still feel a correction is coming. I wish i knew the exact time.
